Heating & Plumbing Checks Ahead of a Sale
A boiler fault or a plumbing issue found during a survey can hold up a sale, and vendors are often looking for a quick, factual answer rather than a full renovation.
A boiler fault or a plumbing issue found during a survey can hold up a sale, and vendors are often looking for a quick, factual answer rather than a full renovation. We can look at a specific concern and report what it actually is before it becomes a negotiating point.
Answering a specific survey concern
Where a survey flags a boiler age, a leak or a suspect flue, we assess that particular point and report on it rather than carrying out a whole-house inspection.
Reporting in terms useful to a sale
Findings are written up factually, stating what was found and what it would involve to put right, which both sides can use in negotiation.
What we need from you to quote
A copy of the relevant part of the survey, access arrangements with the current occupant, and the timescale the sale is working to.
Questions we get asked
Can you provide a report the buyer's solicitor can use?
We can provide a written statement of what we found and what work it would involve; whether it satisfies a solicitor is for them to confirm.
Do you carry out full pre-purchase surveys?
We assess plumbing and heating specifically rather than acting as a general building surveyor.
How quickly can this be looked at?
Tell us the sale timescale and we will say honestly whether we can work within it.
